We were looking for accommodation in exactly this area, it is in a great location. Right on a main street, so of course it's noisy, but if you're tired... The landlady is very nice and got me something vegan for breakfast. It's rare to be so nice. Large hotel chains can benefit from this. And there was a gift from Prince on top of that

This time we went to Pension Wachter for a short vacation on Lake Constance. The small guesthouse is right behind the border into Germany. Rooms are sufficient. The bathroom with walk-in shower - not too small, but nice. For me the only drawback was... the same selection of sausage/cheese every day for breakfast. After the 3rd day you don't like it anymore. Excursion destinations are easily accessible on foot. Bus stops directly in front of the guesthouse.

We were traveling by bike and spent one night here.Room with balcony was very nice and well furnished.The breakfast is very varied, we didn't miss anything.The house is right on the border, which means there is a lot of traffic. But you don't get much of that in the rooms.You can buy drinks in the house.We would book here again at any time.Best regards B.H.

The guesthouse is located right on the main road and border. But it wasn't loud. An older, nice lady runs the guesthouse. The room was large, the bathroom was very small, but completely sufficient for one night. Breakfast was ok. I found the coffee service really cute.

We stayed two nights at Pension Wachter. When we arrived the door was closed and we had to call a phone number to check in. Within a few minutes the owner let us in. …
